It is vital energy which flows to all the things in existence in the entire universe. The Gong (pronounced as gung) is defined to be the skill of working, honing and cultivating self imposed discipline and victory.
In medical qigong, it is said that the body is surrounded by the electromagnetic currents which can affect both external and internal organs of the body. The qi is the basic energy that would sustain the life of a person and it is said to be found in various cells of the body. The primary goal of this branch of Chinese medicine is to correct the bio-energetic difference and blockages in the body that accumulate throughout our lifetime which can either be poor nutrition, aging and even suppression of emotions as well as toxic substances in the body.
Medical qigong is definitely the skill of honing, inculcating and cultivating the vital and essential energy or the capability of working wit the body through its electromagnetic energy. Through this type of Chinese medicine, the various causes and symptoms of a range of ailments can be detected. The person can then be treated in a more holistic manner. The western countries now a days, are using this alternative approach in collaboration with various pharmacological and medical treatments.
